Outstanding! You’ve got to do this!! - Everything was great! We were booked for 12:30 & were picked up around 11:00. We loved that it was farther away from the busy Waikiki area (& we didn’t have to drive ourselves there). The driver was very entertaining. Once on the water, we saw dolphins within 15 minutes - lots of them. They swam right up to & beside the boat. So beautiful!! We went snorkeling in the same area. Again, amazing! The owner & crew were very friendly, knowledgeable, & professional. If we are ever in the area again, we’ll be back.

We saved the best for last! - We loved being in a smaller boat where we were all welcomed and treated like ohana. We saw a large pod of spinner dolphins right out of the harbor and got great photos and videos. Snorkeling on the reef was amazing as well, and we saw several sea turtles. The boat was clean, the food was good, and the crew was fantastic.

Best activity on the island - It was the best outing of four different activities we purchased through Viator. The crew, boat, transportation and experience was the best!!! Worth every dollar. Mahalo for the genuine, humble and kind treatment.

Spectacular and magical!! - My wife and I had a fantastic time we enjoy the boat ride perfect for pictures but the most amazing is the dolphins it a unforgettable experience we enjoy seeing them for almost an hour, the the snorkeling at the turtle rock with turtles was just something magical. I can’t thank the crew enough they are what Hawaii is all about Family.

A very memorable day! - Seeing dolphins in their natural environment for the first time was amazing. The crew was very friendly and professional. It was fun to see the turtles when we were snorkelling, and watching the surfers riding the waves from the boat was great. Last but not least we had a delicious lunch. All-in-all a memorable day!!

Fantastic experience seeing Spinner dolphins close by! - This was the best dolphin excursion we have been on! The crew members were all very knowledgeable, friendly and fun. We got transportation from Waikiki to the boat and back. We were able to watch a pod of Spinner dolphins for 10-15 minutes, and they came right to the boat. The snorkeling was fun, and there was a photographer on board who took lovely photos we could buy after. Highly recommend this excursion!

Fun, but had some drawbacks. - We did see dolphins after much searching but would have enjoyed getting closer to them. The snorkeling involved jumping off the side of the boat when they had a staircase aboard that would have been much easier.

An okay experience but overpriced - The day was beautiful but the water was really choppy (I know that’s not the fault of the boat) so a few people were seasick. We spent way too much time looking for dolphins, and I wish we had more time to snorkel which would have helped relieve everyone’s seasickness. The boat that was used was small and the bathroom made the whole cabin smell due to no flushing. There’s no guarantee to see dolphins since THEY decide if they want to be seen ha, so it would’ve made more sense to stop the search in such choppy water and enjoy the snorkel more. The crew was great, super friendly and helpful. However the boat owner/excursion owner seems to have rules that don’t make a lot of sense for the passengers: why did we have to take photos before lol. I liked that they gave us traditional Hawaiian food though.

Not Worth It and Rip Off - I would not recommend it. It was expensive and unfortunately, no one got to see dolphins. We sailed non-stop for pretty much the entire 3 hours. I was told morning crews do get to see dolphins however afternoon crews don't. If afternoon crews don't, then they shouldn't offer it to begin with. It would have been nice if they informed me about it prior to booking this. They shouldn't charge an insane amount if not guaranteed. We got to snorkel for 30 minutes out of the 3 hours. It would have been nice if we got to snorkel for at least an hour.
